The story of Angel David Bonilla

David is a talented young Dominican kiter with an interesting story. As a baby he was severely burned, and barely survived. He was put into a coma and had over 40 surgeries. Life hasn't been easy for him. But then he got the chance to learn to kitesurf. In the past 4 years he has grown enormously, e...

Re: Ad blocker message

The issue at my end is with bitdefender anti-tracking.
Ads were always showing perfectly, no problem! Its tracking many people have protection against and the current red screen triggers on anti trackers.

Re: Duotone vs Duotone SLS

Many use this material. F.e. my 2018 Cabrinha already used it, as 2020 and 2022. I think Core used similar, but not 100% sure. That was/is DLE160 - its a 'standard' dacron with melamine coating and standard weight. Was very stiff when new and had a lot of chalking marks when used a bit. DT SLS (and...

Re: Tech Cast #12 | Feat. The Line Smith | Episode # 341

The hybrid is something that I would love (I’ve always wondered why this is not standard in all bars), and I do it in a similar way by myself (I just cut the first meter when fuzzy and I add a couple of meters at the other ends, to avoid issues with the safety system). Thanks! Ventum V3 bars use th...

Re: Dominican Rep: Cabarete or Las Terrenas

Would recommend to contact Riin/Helen. https://www.kitebuenhombre.net/ They have a paradise place in Cabarete but also a camp in Buen Hombre which is (kite wise) way nicer than Cabarete imo. Usually more wind! Almost no other kiters! Multiple downwinders (Paradise Island, Mangroves, 7 Island trip et...

Re: Rant alert! my god! who the hell can afford kite equipment

Enough alternatives. Ventum is using the same materials as the biggest brand at half the price. You simply choose with your wallet if you like to pay just for good gear or for good gear + sponsorships + marketing + patents etc. Both is fine and for both there is a market imo.

Re: Surfplan

Quite unclear what exactly you are having trouble with but the free version of surfplan is outdated and very very limited. If it is available in the free version: 1 - go to meny 'edit parameter' and select bridle 2 - at 'attachment' fill in for example 1; 2; 3; 4 (gives point on segment 1,2,3,4 etc....

Bit of forum product "seeding" going on here?

Lol!

Or just a fortunate coincidence?
In that case I would have seeded Ventum flowers and not Switch ;-)
